Hi there.
In this election, we're going to have a look at the queen.
The queen is a bit like a rook and the bishop combined together.
So we can actually go in all directions here.
We could if it's our turn, we could take this rook, we could take this bishop.
It'll be a little bit unwise.
But we could take the knights, but they could recapture.
So ideally, I would take the rook here.
The queen is block by your own pieces.
You can't jump over your pieces, so you can't go over here because it's blocked by that one.
We can also go, you know, this way and up here, we can't go through the opponent's pieces.
We can only go up to these things.
We can't go over to.
The eight were blocked by the opponents piece as well.
But we can capture the opponents, as mentioned.
Can't go over here, but we can go here.
But that be a bad move they could take so we can go up to there, but we can't go over here just to
clarify.
And you can't go over your own pawn.
You can go here now, say you did want to go over your own pawns.
You'd have to move them forward.
So say queen here.
And we wanted to go to for as you might expect, we just go after first and then we've got access to
both G4 and H5.
G4 will be safer, but in the initial position, if it was more of a real possession, we just take
the rock here, that would be the best move.
So the Queen is like the top scorer.
If it was like football, you know, especially European football, the queen's like the top scorer
is going to school you so many games.
But a common mistake is to bring the queen out too early.
But we'll get to that later.
For the moment.
Just bear in mind, the queen is a bit of a combination between a rock and a bishop.
And here we can see I'm going to highlight the legal moves here for you.
So basically we can do all of these movements and we can do free of these captures in this position
so we can capture her.
Or here or here, we can actually move here, here, here, here and here and see how we can get the
idea.
So it's a combination of Rook and Bishop essentially.
So I hope that's clarified the queen.
OK.
So much.
